Review from Google · view on GoogleWe used popes tree service to take down 3 infected pines. Excellent work. Bruce who is a licensed arborist said to inject two more trees. One was dying, they injected two trees. They absolutely saved that tree that was dying. We are thrilled they saved our tree. Sad we lost 3 but saving that one was glorious

Review from Google · view on GoogleThis is our second time using Pope Tree Service for our property. The knowledge and care they take with every tree, especially Oaks, is phenomenal. Their “climbers” are the best, and their accuracy and care for every branch is amazing. Then, Demo, their “bucketmaster”, goes through your trees in the bucket like an artist painting a picture! Bruce is one heck of an arborist, educating us on the proper care for certain trees during certain times of the year. We have learned so much about the proper care for our beautiful Oaks from Pope Tree Service. Will will not use anyone else to take care of our gorgeous trees!

Review from Google · view on GoogleHad two canary palms that needed to be removed because of bug infestation. Pope’s team did an awesome job and left my house very clean. Taking down canary palms is a mess and hard work. The team of 4 never took a break except for lunch. The guys were also very friendly and polite. Highly recommended.

Review from Google · view on GoogleArmando and crew did an absolutely amazing job trimming various types of large full trees on a 5 acre property. The clean up was impeccable, all crew members were cordial, friendly and wanted to make sure we were satisfied before they left. We are satisfied and highly recommend their services. Excellent company for trimming, cutting and pruning large trees.

Review from Google · view on GoogleDemetrius came to trim our 16 overgrown fruit trees. I followed him around asking too many questions. He was completely patient with me. It is hard to believe how greatly he improved the appearance of them all. Fruit trees are tricky and require educated skill to cut well and insure future crops. There is no doubt Demetrius embodies this skill with a passion for what he does! We wholeheartedly recommend him and will return for his help from this point on!
